Little Wonders, operating since 2014 at 33 Elizabeth Street, Rolleston, has a lived philosophy of ‘kindness and aroha with children at the heart of everything we do.’ As part of the Evolve Education group, the 18 teachers cater for children aged 0-6 and are licenced for a maximum of 75. Kim Carnie, Centre Manager, says, “We offer a really special experience in the way that we have amazing relationships with the children and the families; it feels like a homely space where we can welcome everybody.” Kim states that engaged staff care for children in a warm and nurturing way and are “teachers who want to be here and are in teaching for the right reasons, the things they plan and do are fully related to the centre’s philosophy with the children at the heart of everything”. Children learn through free play, but teachers purposefully set the learning environment to help them reach their individualised learning goals. They learn and develop at their pace through Imagination play, Creative Play, and Outdoor Play. Other learning experiences include weekly music sessions, excursions into the community and Playball. The Little Wonders’ cook offers nutritious home-cooked meals catering for all dietary requirements from a diverse, multicultural community. They also follow the Healthy Heart programme and participate in “Growing Kiwi Gardeners”, with a garden-to-plate focus involving children growing food from seedlings. With passionate and caring staff, easy and convenient meals, participation in the 20 hours ECE scheme and a strong philosophy focusing on the best for your child, Little Wonders welcomes you to experience the best possible start for your child at their home away from home.
